The World Anthem

Felda Global Ventures Holdings Plc (FGVH) was listed on the KLSE in 2012 mainly due to arm-twisting and manipulation by PM Najib. Pre-listing multi-billion ringgit losses in the US due to Najib's incompetency, were covered up. Refer to my August 2015 blog post. CLICK HERE.

Based on the above table derived from FGVH's audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2014, EPF had invested in about 192 million FGVH shares costing RM876 million @ RM4.55 per share. This showed a book loss in 2014 of RM576 million.

Assuming EPF had lost and average of ONLY RM2 a share in selling off it's entire holdings of FGVH shares, it would have registered a realised loss of RM385 million.

However, on 3 April 2017, EPF announced a realised loss of RM203 million in FGVH shares in 2016. CLICK HERE. It had announced in December 2016 that by then it had sold off its entire stock of FGVH shares.

This leads us to suppose that the RM203 million was only a portion of a much larges loss in total. More losses must have been realised in earlier years or written off as provisions in a 'mark to market' accounting policy.

It is not possible to get the exact total realised loss on FGVH shares by sifting through EPF's published accounts, as specific details are rarely disclosed there, if ever. The analysis of RM3.39 and RM3.97 billion losses on investments in 2014 and 2015 are not available:

It is also curious and suspicious that the Ministry of Finance (MoF) added in this statement, to try and reduce the impact of the shocking RM203 million loss:

"However, the EPF had made RM105.77 million dividend income from FGVH shares."

That made it look as though EPF had lost only RM97 million (203-106). This is NOT REMOTELY how a savvy investor anywhere in the world, would look at investments and returns:1. RM105.77 million in dividends gives an average rate of return of only about 3% over 4 years (2013-2016). This is below par for an investment cost of RM876 million, as minus inflation of about 3% a year, the net return is a pathetic 0%!!!2. There is the risk free opportunity cost to consider. Had EPF placed RM876 million on FD with a bank, it would have earned a minimum of say, 876 x 4%=35 million a year x 4= RM140 million. This is more than the RM105.77 dividends AND, its capital would have been intact!3. If EPF had cut it's losses early, it might have been able to re-invest the money in blue chip shares, which would have given a capital gain rather than a massive loss. Instead they paid heavily for allowing themselves to be coerced into a dud investment by Najib.

It is to hide this huge Najib blunder (he is also the Finance Minister) that the MoF added in that spin about $105.77 million dividend income without explaining it further. But that is exactly what we have come to expect from a MoF led by Najib and where, its Chief Secretary, Dr. Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah, has since 2009 been assisting kleptocrat Najib in covering up the even greater humongous looming 1MDB loss of RM95 billion, due to massive fraud by Najib, his family members and his cronies. CLICK HERE.

Did heads roll at the EPF? There is no culture of honour in a government of thieves. Some have written that RM576 million represents less than 1% of EPF's RM700 billion assets, and so it's no big deal. But that is exactly the type of thinking that allows the crooks like Najib to loot and plunder at will. 99.99% of us will never earn anywhere near $576 million in our lifetime. That money could have been invested in schools, hospitals and other much needed infrastructure. It's downright criminal to lose RM576 million due to incompetency, negligence and abuse of power by a prime minister and his crony head at EPF!

So, EPF must come clean about how much it actually lost in TOTAL on FGVH shares. Remember, EPF's money belongs to its contributors, NOT the government. Hard working citizens are sinking under the weight of stagnant wages, GST, rising food cost, transportation, petrol, soaring rents, house prices and inflation (record 4.5% in 8 years, in y-o-y to February 2017).

More than that, the government must disclose how much in total many GLC's and State Governments have actually lost by being bullied, again by Najib, to prop up the ill-advised listing of FGVH shares!

As at 31 December 2014, these entities had a book loss of nearly RM8 billion!!! (See table above). Many of them would have taken out loans from banks to finance their share acquisitions, which means their losses would have been higher, with loan interest!!!

As I have said many times before, Najib has the touch of the plague and the kiss of death whatever mega project he proposes - FGVH, 1MDB, PPFI etc., etc., etc. He does not have the knowledge, skills or qualifications to manage his children's piggy bank, let alone the complexities of a country's economy.

But, Najib can't let go because of ego, face, and false pride born of cancerous Ketuananism. He suffers from the illusion that somehow, being the son of a former prime minister, he is destined for global success and a place in the history books. But, instead, his repeated failures have cost the nation, at the very least, RM150 billion in a blazing trail of stupefying losses.

The citizens must seriously endeavour to put him out of his misery soon, like yesterday!

Typo? Investment costs should be Rm876 million in your calculation? IMHO, the recent realised loss likely to be that of sale of its remaining shares only. What happened since acquisition until final sale should be disclosed. But will they? Even if they did, the existing trust deficit will still create in our minds.

Malaysians politicians think it's a birth right to plunder and rape malaysia with impunity...najib runs malaysia NOT as a accountable pm but as his own private business above the law untouchable----the bastards think once elected they have given a license to steal take bribes sell and dispose of any and all malaysian assets for their own profit---fck the people, fck the law and fck anyone who ask questions so who allowed the swamp monkey's to remain in power??? you dummies you do

Was it really jibby himself making all the critical decisions? He does not even has the mental ability to visualise abstractions in front of his nose,far less matters of economics and national interest.

He is overwhelmingly dictated by instinct, and in this case like an elephant, constantly in heat.

Thus,to be able to pacify his instinct he exposed himself to the dictates of the one who can play to his tune....no elephant but a hippo!

With all the he screwed up, he is still in power. Ha ha ha ... I like the statement that Najib has the touch of the plague and the kiss of death whatever mega project he proposes – FGVH, 1MDB, PPFI etc.

This is no joke as the people especially the Malays who form the majority who will suffer severely under the strain of all these blunders or incompetencies and lack of transparencies by the MoF. This time the Malays cannot blame the Chinese of sabotage as their leaders have done so with great efficiency

If you struggle to put food on the table, thank Najib and his band of thieves, if you can't put a roof over your family's head, thank Najib and his band of thieves. Thank Najib for showing you how much you love and care for him that even if you starve he is still God's gift to you.

They are now into re-engineering trying to fill ten(10)cups with only 5 cups. He and his sycophants will show you how it is done . While the rest struggle with rising cost if every damned thing except our wages. Keep it up, UMNO your boss who can do no wrong will take all of you to hell.

He doesn't even seem interested to get the money back or go after these foreigners. he actually tried to cover-up these foreigners' crimes. now that is destabilising the Malaysian economy. that is actually treason by him.

He just lets the Rakyat bear the burden of the billions of dollars taken by these foreigners and also billions of dollars worth of assets frozen by other countries law enforcement agencies go unclaimed

MURDERED IN MALAYSIA: THE ALTANTUYA STORY BY E.S. SHANKAR

Dear Readers,

Have you read the explosive new ebook "Murdered In Malaysia: The Altantuya Story" yet? The mystery surrounding the murder of Mongolian model Altantuya Sharriibuu has long troubled Malaysia and E.S Shankar's new book sheds light on many unanswered questions.

This meticulously researched, honest and informative book is for you and for all those Malaysians who want to know the full truth about the disgraceful and barbaric murder of a Mongolian girl, who had the misfortune to associate herself with persons which led ultimately to her murder and the disintegration of her dead body, and perhaps her unborn child, by explosion.

E.S Shankar has produced a tour de force in terms of research and the comprehensive scope of his enquiries, leaving no stone unturned in his quest to bring to light facts that were disgracefully suppressed and covered up by one of the most shocking examples of interference in the judiciary that Malaysia has experienced in its history. The impact on the independence of Malaysia's law enforcement agencies has been far-reaching and malign.

As E.S Shankar's book makes clear, the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu was not an unpremeditated killing, carried out by "rogue cops". It was planned with care and needed the intervention of very powerful people to make it happen - and then when it was discovered, to cover up the truth. And all that simply to save the face and reputation of a very powerful Malaysian personality.

Malaysia owes a debt to this brave author who has dared to lay out the facts that others have attempted to hide. His book may read like a thriller, but it is the chilling truth and everyone should take time to understand its consequences.

GREATEST QUOTES OF 2012/2013

1. Exercising democratic rights could place society in a never-ending vicious cycle of instability and insecurity.

2.We are doing the right thing if everybody is unhappy, which means you have to give up something . . . You cannot say this is my right, I must get it. Then others will say they want their rights, too.

'TIGER ISLE-A GOVERNMENT OF THIEVES' by E.S. SHANKAR

SYNOPSIS OF 'TIGER ISLE - A GOVERNMENT OF THIEVES' by E.S. SHANKAR

Tiger Isle or Pulipore, the corruption capital of the world that mysteriously emerged from the depths of the waters of South East Asia in 200 CE, spirals towards its tipping point in 2012.

Hundreds of billions of dollars of cost over-inflated defence and other government procurement and infrastructure development contracts, national projects “that MUST not fail, ever” and the cosy “win-win” relationships between government and fraudtrepreneur crony “corpo-rat captains of industry”, send Tiger Isle hurtling towards the precipice of third world status and bankruptcy.

Tiger Isle’s evil and despotic President Kapalin plays every card, from race to Tigerist religion to hounding his political nemesis, Maitreya, with trumped-up rape and sodomy charges, to cling on to power. Failure is not an option, as Kapalin and his ambitious and self-promoting wife, expensive Birkin handbag toting ‘Big Porka’ Natasha, are also implicated in the cover-up of the gruesome murder of Tiger Isle’s Oscar-winning actress, dynamited to bits in a secluded forest.

Now, government auditor Rekha and her seven best friends race against time and the threat of a prophecy being fulfilled to save Tiger Isle and its 30 million inhabitants from annihilation, even as Kapalin plots and embarks upon apocalyptic plans that could prove to be the harbinger of World War III.

On the horizon, Rekha, married and a mother of two, sees the looming menace and racist aims of Kapalin’s mentor, bitter ex-President Bhairav, who stirs up extremist and right-wing Tigerist sentiments to undermine Kapalin and replace him with his own son as President.

The fate of a nation hangs in the balance as Rekha prepares for battle with her famous cry of “We are all of One Race, the Human Race.”

Mixing suspense with humor and pathos, E.S. Shankar’s superbly written, original and stunning debut novel ‘TIGER ISLE – A GOVERNMENT OF THIEVES’ is a classic story of endemic corruption in South East Asia and its various frightening totalitarian and racist regimes that pose as benign multi-racial, multi-religious, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural democracies.

“A great read simply for its thrilling plot and wonderfully-imagined setting, but an even better one if you're interested in Malaysian/ South East Asian politics & history.” S.Ganesan.
